Android Jetpack is a collection of Android software components to make it easier for developers to build robust, high-quality apps. These components are categorized into several areas: Foundation, Architecture, Behavior, and UI.
Let's delve into the Behavior category, which encompasses components that help with various app functionality aspects like notifications, permissions, and sharing:

Media & Playback:
Media2
library aids in media playback integration with UI components and media sessions.Notifications:
Permissions:
Sharing:
ShareCompat
helps with sharing content between apps.Slices:
Preferences:
App Links:

Shortcut:
These Behavior components in Jetpack aim to make common tasks more consistent, efficient, and user-friendly, reducing boilerplate code and ensuring that apps behave in ways users expect. Developers should pick the relevant components based on the functionality they need, ensuring they always stay updated with the latest versions for best practices and new features.
Handling data with ViewModels in Jetpack:
class MyViewModel : ViewModel() { private val data: MutableLiveData<String> = MutableLiveData() fun setData(value: String) { data.value = value } fun getData(): LiveData<String> { return data } }
LiveData as a behavior component in Android:
LiveData
is a lifecycle-aware observable data holder in Jetpack. It's often used to propagate changes in the underlying data to UI components. LiveData ensures that UI components only update when the associated lifecycle is active, improving efficiency and preventing unnecessary updates.val liveData: LiveData<String> = MutableLiveData() liveData.observe(this, Observer { newValue -> // Update UI with the new value })
WorkManager for background processing in Jetpack:
val workRequest = OneTimeWorkRequestBuilder<MyWorker>().build() WorkManager.getInstance(context).enqueue(workRequest)
Room Database as a behavior component in Jetpack:
@Entity data class User( @PrimaryKey val uid: Int, val firstName: String, val lastName: String ) @Dao interface UserDao { @Query("SELECT * FROM user") fun getAll(): LiveData<List<User>> @Insert fun insert(user: User) }
Implementing data binding as a behavior in Jetpack:
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MyActivity"> <data> <variable name="viewModel" type="com.example.MyViewModel" /> </data> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="16dp"> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@{viewModel.data}" /> </LinearLayout> </layout>
